Hello everybody, I am very excited to start my overlanding education!
Location: SF Bay Area
Vehicle: New to me as of this past weekend, 2005 LR3 with Lux and HD packages.
Experience: Total newbie
I have been backpacking for many years and I have always wanted to get farther out in the little time that I have, overlanding seemed like the answer. My rig was a 1 owner mall crawler/snow shuttle for a local family with a thick folder of maintenance receipts. Only modification that have been done to it by the previous owners was to mount 20" Antera rims and add a Yakima rack for their skis. That will soon change... Making the modifications is half the fun!

Yea I placed it basically on the same area just under my antenna on the passenger side, I figured the driver side already had the trail rated badge, so I put it on the passenger side!

G'day
My name is Tyron, im from South Africa, I drive a 2008 Toyota Fortuner 4.0 V6 Auto 4x4
I have no overlanding experience YET, but having just got my first 4x4 I am looking at doing some shorter weekend getaways, and build into longer and longer stays out in the middle of nowhere
Picture hopefully attached

Hi Folks
My name is Steve and I am based in Essex, England. I have a couple of rigs I use but my main one for the longer trips is a Jeep Wrangler JKU, I like the space it gives me to load up with camping gear and family. Have been travelling into Europe for quiet a few years, going out to East Germany, Denmark, Italy, across the Pyrenees coast to coast, French Alps, and once a year down to Chambon-sur-Lac in France for an event. Also do some trips in the UK the photo is from last year in Wales. Starting to think about building a trailer when time permits which will be capable of going where the Jeep can go.

Hello all. James here. I drive a 2007 FJ Cruiser TRDSE. I've just started building it out and hope to have a very capable overland vehicle here shortly. I live in Lehigh Valley, PA USA and am looking for anyone nearby that knows of any local trails. TIA

Hi everyone,
My name I Larry and I live in Cardiff California. I've been an avid outdoors guy my entire life. However, I am new to the overlanding community.
I drive a 91 Toyota Land Cruiser. I like to do my own mods. My last rig was a 69 Jeepster Commando that I built myself. I gotta admit that the Land Cruiser is the most capable 4X4 out of the box then any off road vehicle that I've ever driven. This one is a keeper.
Looking forward to participating in group camps and trails.

Hi All, I'm Dick. I live in Devon, England. I am a retired Family Physician. Since 1996 I have been involved in overland expeditions in Europe, North Africa and Middle East. My current vehicle which I have had for 11 Years is a Nissan Patrol built from new by Frogs Island for expedition work (sister vehicle to the 2 Nissan Patrols which accompanied Ewan McGregor in the "Long Way Down"). My trailer is one of the only Adventure Trailer "Chaser" trailers in Europe. My first expedition vehicle was a 1992 Range Rover Classic Tdi which at 160,000 miles I gave away in 2007 when I bought the Patrol. I'm hoping more UK based folks will sign up! Last expedition was September 2017 5,000 miles to Gallipoli and back to visit the WW1 battlefields with my Aussie cousin Tom, where our grandfather was a surgeon with the 42nd Division of the East Lancashire Regiment.
Hi Steve, good to find another Brit. The Adventure Trailer was built to follow a Wrangler over the Moab trails. There are some British built chassis copying the Chaser design, but meeting EU type approval around for when you decide to build a trailer!

Hello OB Community.
New member here from Southern California (OB# 10895). I'm still working on activating my membership number, so I can access the member resources. Wanted to get a quick hello and intro in now, and say I'm looking forward to connecting with many other OB members throughout the site and on the trails.
I'm currently in the process of purchasing a 2018 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Off Road, Cement, and start outfitting her. Just waiting on a friend who works for Toyota to locate the truck and put the deal together. Photos to follow soon!
I'm going to be starting an IG (Instagram) account, which will be solely dedicated to only my travel adventures, so I will be looking to grow my followers when I set it up. This will be a great community to start!
Keep the adventures going and be safe out there!
